Just like my results with my '84 190D. The pressure bleeder made all the
difference...

When that's the timing, it's usually because the bleeding was done by pedal
pumping, and the pedal went lower than it ever went in driving. If there was a
ridge of crud on the cylinder

A sinking pedal is rarely air. That is the symptom of a leak or

Is it pre-ABS? If so, just open the bleeder valves and let gravity do the
work - not going to introduce any air that way (not that I see hoe the
mityvac would either). If that doesn't work, and the resevior doesn't get
too low, you have a master cylinder to replace/rebuild.
